Iran War

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I think they quite literally said the ceasefire is still in effect despite launching attacks. We're just making up reality now. Wouldn't be suprised at this point if the US just cancels all action against Iran and says there was never a war and the strait of Hormuz has never been more open in all of history than it has under Trump.
I think that's way more likely than one would ordinarily believe.
More likely is declare victory and go home then tout their "success" in the next election.
Ninth war ended. :roll:

Trump summons cabinet as Iran War Deal crumbles

https://newrepublic.com/post/210887/don ... -iran-deal
Donald Trump is preparing to meet several key administration officials at Camp David on Wednesday as Iranian peace talks fall apart.

The impromptu presidential retreat will include every Cabinet member, including outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, the New York Post reported Tuesday.
Flailing.

The US looks so weak and incompetent.

I just read that the Camp David meeting has been changed to the White House. I figure it's because there's no way in hell trump can stay awake in such a rustic site as Camp David. Hell, he'd be asleep before the rest of them even got to his cabin. shit

He would have if it retained FDR's original name for it, "Shangri-La".

By now Trump should know this is the Iranian playbook. Kick their asses until they finally understand.

90+ million people, 2.5 times larger than Texas.


This isn't Gaza, they can't be bombed into submission.

You want trump to put hundreds of thousands of boots on the ground?

Not in favor of large numbers of US troops on the ground. My point was Trump may be too patient with the Iranians.

And my point is his hands are effectively tied.

You may have a point. An unknown is what are the Arab neighbors telling him and that is a key element to long lasting peace.

Best guess is they don't want their infrastructure destroyed, it sets them back years and could effectively devestate their economies and get the Straits opened.


China and Russian militaries are happy too, they now know the limits of our aerial firepower.

Not to mention the limits of DonOLD's brain power.
After weeks of boasting that he’s destroyed Iran’s armed forces, Trump now says ‘we actually left their military alone’

... “Now we know why Trump still hasn’t been able to open the Straight of Hormuz. It’s because, in the cognitively impaired mind of Trump, Iran cleverly has the only Schrödinger military in the world: it exists and it doesn’t exist all at the same time,” quipped Rep. Ted Lieu, a Democrat from California, in a tweet responding to a clip of the exchange shared on X....

Best military in the world.

-0-? The waste, fraud and abuse doesn't leave much to spare.


All DonOLD does is LIE.

Trump says he never promised 'no new wars'

2024 victory speech: "I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars."

Busted. This time, it's mostly MAGAts he's LYING to. The rest of us have come to expect it.
